A healthy platypus population is an indicator of healthy river systems.
Neil Andison is an avid naturalist and conservationist. Neil is known as the Platypus Whisperer and has chosen to focus on the Platypus as a key species for his study, his business and, by association, his life.
Neil runs guided tours along the Obi Obi Creek at Maleny and has captured some amazing insights and images of the Platypus as well as the flora and fauna associated with the creek.
Neil says: “Even now, after over a decade of photographing and monitoring our local Platypus population, I get a thrill and sense of wonderment every time I see one. The more I learn of these incredible creatures, the more I want to learn, and the more I want to share that knowledge to try and ensure the continued survival of the species.”
